The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation said in a news release Randy Lynch, 49, was arrested Wednesday by the State Bureau of Investigation and Vance County Sheriff's Office on Flemington Road in Henderson.
He was charged with trafficking cocaine.
The street value of the seven kilograms of cocaine is estimated at $100,000.
He is being held in the Vance County Jail under $1 million bond.
This arrest is part of an ongoing investigation assisted by the Granville County Sheriff's office and the Warren County Sheriff's Office.
Other details of the case were not immediately available and it is not clear whether any charges will come out of Halifax County. Questions seeking additional information on the case have been sent to the SBI.
Halifax County Sheriff Wes Tripp said the sheriff's office assisted in searches in Halifax County and one of its canines was used in Warren County.
“He has always been on law enforcement's radar,” Tripp said of Lynch, “and I commend the good work of the SBI and the Vance, Granville and Warren county sheriff's offices.”
